how much I like GLASS ONION: until I tried (again) to clean up my desktop icons this year, I had the following image file at hand on the desktop in case I needed to share it in a hurry:

However, *this* place was 5 minutes from my Austin house and I got really spoiled by the proximity of charbroiled burgers. (It's still there. Burgers are great, fried chicken good, get the onion rings instead of fries though.)

OMG I had forgotten I had this photo, from the HELLBOY II preview screening in Austin in 2008. This is my own photo (I have a whole set of 'em from the evening). I don't remember why everyone on stage got milkshakes but it sure was adorable.

We went to the Tualatin Giant Pumpkin Regatta today and watched folks racing one another around the lake in actual pumpkins, dressed as witches and Disney characters and also Sophia from Golden Girls (who really kicked butt):

I just realized my feed is nothing but politically charged reposts right now, so please enjoy this photo of all the tomatoes I cut off the single (huge, Audrey II-esque) plant in my backyard yesterday. Look at me! I grew tomatoes! A year since we moved here and who knew we'd have tomatoes.

But it wasn't the last movie we saw in Austin ... after the moving truck left on the day before the plane trip here, we had a free afternoon and an empty house and were at loose ends until we remembered this at AFS (I should wait until the day, but I'll forget and why break up a good story?):

Reminded that a year ago (yesterday) we went to the Paramount in Austin and saw what we intended to be our last movie before we left the city: WHAT'S UP, DOC? in 35mm w/an intro by Robert Rodriguez. Absolutely the best possible choice for a last movie/venue -- maybe -- anyway, here's a photo.

Everyone: Oh, there are so many beautiful aspects of nature you can see in/around Bend, you'll enjoy it so much.

Probably this classic, bought used for under a dollar (I don't know how it's survived all the years/re-reads). I doubt my parents knew what I was reading, since my mom was fussy about keeping me from her bestsellers. You should maybe be old enough to have had a period before you read this novel.

Of all the things I never expected to see, a duck strolling up in my front yard this morning was ... not even on the list, because it was that surreal. But also adorable! Hello, duck friends (probably visiting from the nearby creek). Stop by any time.

No one told me we would have daffodils in our yard here in February (and I didn't even do anything to encourage it, it just appeared!)

Patio when it started snowing 24 hours ago versus right now -- it's a lot of snow (if you're from the Gulf South, anyway). Very pretty but I'm not driving around Portland today.

WOW y'all my wife repaired the Chumby and now we once again have the coolest living room clock EVER and I am so thrilled. (We spent the weekend putting up wall art and it is all terrific but we sure missed our Chumby.)

Following up on yesterday's "persimmons grow on trees in our yard, whaaat" post, today I'm wondering what this is? Anyone? Google Lens says it's a type of kiwi but is it? And is it edible?
